I have some titles for something other than KHR, too! (Because I wasn't sure what fandoms you wrote fro until like 5 min ago when I went to your FFnet page and checked) Here they are: "The Trials of Desperate Men" for Nurarihyon no Mago. "Build me a Castle (And I'll tear it Down)" for Naruto. And last, but certainly not least, "Stranger Things (Than You Have Seen)" for Harry Potter!
For this ask prompt
The Trials of Desperate Men
Rikou is on a quest to find the fountain of eternal youth to save Zen before it’s too late. After all, he promised Kana to save her husband.
Brother o’ mine, pray I find the way.
Sister o’ mine, pray I will be safe.
And most of all, my clan, my life,
All sleep well, all sleep tight,
Mountains we move, as Mountains move us,
but the path we take, that’s on us.
So dance ‘till the morning light,And pray all day and pray all night.
That from the Trials of Desperate Men,The master may return.
(Victorious)
Apparently, I ship KanaZen. I had no idea before I wrote this. The dynamic would be interesting though. That is taking age into account, of course- I’m not sure how old Zen is, but this wouldn’t take place before Rikou would be around the twenty-five anyway, probably a bit later.
Build Me a Castle (And I’ll Tear It Down)
Summary: ‘’ Her name is Karin, an Uzumaki, and well, Hinata’s never been able to resist those.’’
Hinata tears down walls and finds happiness in the sea.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write some HinaKarin! I’ve been wanting to do so ever since I read @blackkatmagic ’s Lay me down in the sands of time, which made me ship it so much I couldn’t wait to think something up! It’s a lovely pairing, but it’s got little fics (the eternal struggle TAT), so I’m glad you made me write fic! :3
It will be up completely later today!
Stranger Things (Than You Have Seen)
He walks between the shadows of dreams and awakening, at the edge of reality, but always out of reach.
Ginny misses him so.
With wings behind him, he flies above, the shade of a cloud passing by.
Harry was never meant for the mortal world. She knows that.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t hurting her.
Doesn’t mean it’ll stop her either.
If he cannot be mortal, then she’ll turn the wheel of fate and loosen the threads of her soul to weave something eternal.
Her mother taught her to knit and it’s the handiest skill she has.
HarryGinny is one of my favourite ships, if Heading Straight For the Castle hadn’t made that clear already!
This AU has some sort of Divine!Harry. It reeks of Greek Mythology, though, because the only thing I could think of as I wrote about Ginny reweaving her soul, was a moral thread in the hands of the three fates turning golden as immortals do.
If I continue it (I’m not sure if I will or if I won’t yet), it will probably have Master of Death!Harry (incarnation of death, that’s what creativity is for ;P). I won’t go with the Hades/Persephone aesthetic like I did in my SasuSaku Persephone Speaks, though, even if that wasn’t exactly a traditional version too.
Ginny would probably just storm the place and insist on being the Hellfire itself XD
I didn’t expect to answer a non-ship related ask with so many ships included (let alone so many straight ships, because I often forget I have those too). And thank you for asking for other fandoms too! I love KHR, but thinking about different fandoms and options is so great too! :D
Thank you so much! :3
Yes! Perfect! And you ended up giving me a new ship, too! xD HinaKarin for the win!
I like what you have going for “The Trials of Desperate Men”. ZenKana isn’t something I’ve heard before, but you’re right that it would have an interesting dynamic. Rikuo going on a quest to help his best friends is the best~
I’m actually not too sure what I think of “Stranger Things (Than You Have Seen)”, if only because I’ve never been a huge HarryGinny fan. It’s always felt like it was just an attempt at repeating the last generation? A repeat of James and Lily? And I try and get past that, because there are so many good fics out there with HarryGinny, but I’ve never really managed it. :P
Ignoring my hesitance at the ship, the plot itself is really good. I’ve always been a huge fan of Master of Death!Harry, and Ginny going to such lengths to stay with him is totally something I can see happening. She’s a strong person, who would go to extreme lengths to protect the people she cares about, and I like her as a character because of that. Her walking into the afterlife and demanding to be Hellfire is totally something I can see her doing.
Thank you so much! And definitely!
I haven’t seen it before either, but it struck me and I went with it! :D
The Struggle for when the Main Pairing is one you don’t get *flashback to shipping Kataang while watching the show and flinching away in fanfiction, because Aang’s a kid where Kataara feels far more like a woman*
I get what you mean with ‘’repeating the previous generation’’, it’s exactly why I didn’t really like the ship when I first read fanfiction. However, over time I got a characterization of Lily that was so starkly different from Ginny, that I couldn’t even confuse them in any way anymore. Not to mention the fact that James is very little like Harry.
